I have fallen head over heels in love with calligraphy, which has in turn sparked an exciting new lust for typography. I suppose you could say that this project was born out of my passion for these two arts (as well as my fondness for quirky phrases!)

This project is inspired by those boutique shopping bags from exclusive retailers, which all feature amazing designs but are disposed of so readily once used. To celebrate the often overlooked beauty of these bags, I transformed them into permanent artworks, making them just as valuable as the products found within them.

Buttons are such remarkable little things don’t you think? Their ever-changing colours and shapes are a constant amusement to my family and I, and as a result, I’ve worked-up a rather enviable button collection over the years. These unique necklaces are entirely hand crafted and epitomise my love for design (and buttons of course!) Enjoy x

About Me

I am a self confessed art–aholic. I adore everything from calligraphy, drawing and letterpress, to photography, typography and even jewellery design.

Unfortunately, my addiction means that I have a wee bit of trouble throwing anything away, because in the back of my mind I realise that it could be the subject matter of my next project.

This, I am told, is hoarding. Definition: acquiring and failing to throw out a large number of items that would appear to have little or no value to others (e.g., papers, notes, flyers, newspapers). But I prefer to look at it as the collection and preservation of unappreciated yet beautiful objects.

From 9 till 5 I am a graphic designer. But it doesn’t stop there. My mind is constantly thinking of new projects to undertake and you will often find me reading magazines or blogs and taking classes to try and improve my skills in anyway how.

I started this blog to share my passion for art with the world and to communicate the ideas and concepts behind my creations.
